Depends how they're used. You could spend millions and still come away with something unremarkable, and even something that would have sounded better on a single instrument. I'm more talking about the composition of the track.
That said my previous comment was from listening to the instagram clip while at the gym so I definitely missed some of the texture, sounds better now that I'm in my room.
True, I was thinking more compositionally. I'd love for Thom to give Jonny a lot more room to stretch out, as usually it's Jonny kind of building around Thom, or so it seems.

Ah, okay. I might be wrong (ha) but I think he wrote The Tourist. Gorgeous song.
EDIT: Oh, and wasn't Idioteque built from like a 40 minute electro-jam he did? That's one of my favourites!

It seems like radiohead is almost entirely based around 'dealing with thom'. My favourite band, but they must be a patient lot. I can't help but have the impression that Thom must be extremely difficult to work with. I'm basing that off exactly 0 except how weird he seems and how quiet/normal the rest of them seem.

There is an interveiw with Thom and Ed where this is pretty much established

Loving the Trumpton/Camberwich Green gone bad vibe.
Can't wait to hear more.
There's a great part in this interview from 2012 where Jonny talks about his approach to using orchestras. Definitely exciting if there's going to be a lot more strings in this LP!
Indeed... I'm hoping for some off-kilter lushness.
Not listened to that Jonny interview before... good stuff cheers.

So all in all, judging by the nature and wilderness theme, we're FINALLY getting KOL2?!

Yuck. I'd put KOL under Pablo Honey.
Are you always this passive-aggressive?
Also: Google.
Your use of 'summink' threw me off. Thought that was some musical term I wasn't familiar with, Urban Dictionary suggests I was wrong.

That's really a bizarre statement. I know TKOL wasn't everyone's favorite Radiohead album, but Pablo Honey should be everyone's least favorite.

It's a terrible record with one listenable song. At least I can listen to...three songs on Pablo Honey. Given the choice of either to listen to, I'm picking Pablo Honey every time.
I've never bothered to listen to it, or The Bends. Radiohead started with OKC as far as I'm concerned.

Bloodborne is shit
So even if Staircase and The Daily Mail would have clashed with TKoL's aesthetic, do you believe the album would have been better with them included?
I say yes personally and since we're fucking up the vibe go ahead and throw These Are My Twisted Words & The Butcher in there too.

I think the bends is greatly overrated but it's still essential listening,

The vibe of that record is boring and monotonous. Anything to shake it up would have been an improvement.

The Bends is showing its age a bit, but it's still essential listening if you're interested in Radiohead.

The Bends is timeless. You people are crazy.

The Bends is amazing.
I love the album and will always have a soft spot for it as my gateway to Radiohead, but more and more I'm starting to feel this way a bit too.

I hate that I have to keep posting fantastic reasons to listen to Pablo Honey. There are many fantastic reasons to listen to it. You, Anyone Can Play Guitar, Lurgee... It was my first Radiohead album, so I'm perhaps biased.
Agree on both counts. About half the album is skippable to me nowadays. But songs like Just, My Iron Lung and Steet Spirit will always be classics.

The Bends is amazing, but unlike everything they've done from OK Computer onwards it feels a bit more a product of its specific time. It's Radiohead's quintessential "alternative rock" album. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike The Bends, but they just moved in so many more interesting directions afterwards.
The Bends is by far their best album.

Not seen either of those. Nice one!
Blow Out, Thinking About You and You are my favourites. Yes I Am and Inside My Head are shit hot B-Sides too.
Still their worst album.
Oh!
Nah, just being English. Sorry, man!
Oh. Oh my.

Agree. Though, it's not an album that should be put aside as "stuff they did before they became computerized". It has some really great and memorable tracks. Planet Telex, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, Nice Dream, Just, My Iron Long, Bulletproof, Street Spirit. These are all amazing tracks that will never feel outdated.
Little by Little (Basement vsn) > 90% of their collective output

If you have to listen to a live version to enjoy it, that means they failed at making a record.

Hail to the Thief is G.O.A.T. From the first track all the way to "I Will", it's a roller coaster ride. Then it gets all weird but by then you need to take a break from Thom Yorke tonguefucking your eardrums.
The fucking fade-in on Blackstar is more 90's than maybe everything else they've done, dude
The Basement sessions are their own standalone record as far as I'm concerned, and 'Limbs really comes alive there. I listen to it all the time.

Definitely a solid reason to dismiss an album.
Maybe it was an 80s thing. They might have been referencing "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others". Who knows, it's a minor production choice.

Get the fuck out.
It took me a while to get my head around, admittedly. I still don't like Little By Little (not sure why, seems a bit flat) and I think Feral should've been a B-Side, but other than that it's fucking sterling stuff: Bloom, Codex, Lotus Flower, Good Morning, Mr Magpie, Give up the Ghost, Separator - they're all top quality.

HTTT is rounding up 14, ugly mashed up assholes that have no business being together with no discernible flow and calling it an album.
I've heard enough to know its not my bag... FPT is a great song I'll admit, but I'm just into what they started with OKC and where they went from there.
I love TKOL and think its a great LP.... I'm not going to order them as I change my mind all the time.

Then they failed at making a record, by either not playing the songs enough first or by failing to capture on tape what makes them interesting live. Either way, a live version doesn't retroactively make a record great.

It's a boring record. It starts at 88bpm at a medium intensity and never budges from there. Boring.
I love The Bends but it's chock-full of tropes that make it typical of it's era.
